"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

How far are these schedules made in advance? MSU is very smart to play a talented, but freshman-loaded team that will likely improve throughout the season and make this win (should they win) look very good.

Basketball seems to be scheduled on much shorter notice than football. Given the 4 teams that are in this showcase I would imagine that it was decided relatively recently. But i agree with your overall point

"Great athlete, no way he's the top pick in the draft. Julius Randle is better. There's just way too much hype. His skill level is average. He made a few shots but plays straight up and down and doesn't have any playmaking skills. Everything has to be a straight-line drive. Right now, he's the third- or fourth-best player for Kansas. He's long and athletic but has a long way to go."

That was one scouts early assessment.

Thanks for that. I haven't followed it at all really other than the rivals rankings and the hype machine that is ESPN. From everything they say on the WWL Wiggins is the best player to come along since Durant/Lebron.

He has been pushing this 'Wiggins is not that great' agenda for months and will find or make up anything to prove his point. No scout worth his salt would say, "no way he goes number 1." They might say that they doubt he does because they like someone else better but Wiggins is way too talented no know what he cieling is yet.

Yes and RPI. You want all Michigan opponents to win and within Big Ten play you want double plays over single plays for the most part. Very good night for Michigan future opponents. Florida and Kentucky are nice scalps for the Big Ten.

Take that evil empire.

I get knocked down, but I get up again; you're never going to keep me down. I get knocked down, but I get up again; you're never going to keep me down.

only able to catch the end of the game here. Greatly conflicted, but I think I'm pulling for the BIG TEN (which by default, means MSU). I hate the UK-all-top-10-recruits approach to college basketball - and understand it's likely fair play. But damn, want to see them go down and position B1G atop college basketball.

This Kentucky team is young and plays dumb. They'll no doubt get better but they do some stupid shit out there; Sparty on the other hand isn't as "talented" but plays much more sound basketball, experience being a big part of that.
